“Oh I am so happy Mr. Otter” Mrs. otter said.
“Yes, I am happy to honey, once Otter jr. is out of the hospital we should go for a swim to show off are new little boy,” said Mr. Otter.
“That sounds delightful” Mrs. Otter replied
the next day Otter jr. and his parents went for a morning swim. It seemed that they were stopping every five seconds so other families could look at their new baby. Everyone was running at them and they thought they were looking at Otter Jr. They weren’t, they ran right past them. Mr. Otter stopped one of them and asked were they were going. They replied,
“The piranhas are coming! The piranhas are coming!”
“Uh oh, honey take the kid and swim to shore as fast as you can” Mr. Otter screamed.
“We need Ally the crocidile to help us” Mrs. Otter called back
“Did I here my name!” Ally the crocidile declared.

“We need help fighting off the piranhas!”
A fight broke out. There was a feeding frenzy. After the fight Mrs. Otter waited on the shoreline only to hear that Mr. Otter went down, but never came back up. Ally finished a few but on got away. Ally also has a toothache.
Heartbroken Mrs. Otter had received more bad news that she had a flatworm and was going to die. Meanwhile ally the crocidile still had a toothache so he sought advice from the wise Mr. Mushroom who lives on the dead tree. Mr. Mushroom said
“You should go to my good friend, he is a very good dentist. His name is birdy. He lives at the end of the river were it dumps into the lake.” Ally was gone before you could say ally. As he got to the end of the river he saw a small sign that said “Dr. Birdy’s dentistry” Ally called dr. birdy to look at his teeth.
Dr. Birdy said, “It looks like you have bits of fish stuck in your teeth”
Ally replied, “How much will it cost?”
“It’s Free! I get a free meal you get clean teeth, everyone wins!”
After ally got his teeth cleaned he spots Mrs. Otter crying.Dentist_bird.jpg
He asks, “Why are you crying?”
“Because Mr. Otter is dead, I’m dying, and there is still a piranha in the river”
“Ill take care of that,” ally says as he enters the water. Half an hour later Ally emerges with the last Piranha in his mouth. “ If you are dying I will take care of otter Jr.” Ally exclaimed.
“Thank you.”
Two days later Ally visits the Otters. Mrs. Otter is very sick and Going to die.
“Thank you Ally, for everything” she said as she died
